Question-guided Visual Compression with Memory Feedback for Long-Term Video Understanding

Sosuke Yamao, Natsuki Miyahara, Yuankai Qi, Shun Takeuchi

展开摘要

In the context of long-term video understanding with large multimodal models, many frameworks have been proposed. Although transformer-based visual compressors and memory-augmented approaches are often used to process long videos, they usually compress each frame independently and therefore fail to achieve strong performance on tasks that require understanding complete events, such as temporal ordering tasks in MLVU and VNBench. This motivates us to rethink the conventional one-way scheme from perception to memory, and instead establish a feedbackdriven process in which past visual contexts stored in the context memory can benefit ongoing perception. To this end, we propose Question-guided Visual Compression with Memory Feedback (QViC-MF), a framework for long-term video understanding. At its core is a Question-guided Multimodal Selective Attention (QMSA), which learns to preserve visual information related to the given question from both the current clip and the past related frames from the memory. The compressor and memory feedback work iteratively for each clip of the entire video. This simple yet effective design yields large performance gains on longterm video understanding tasks. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves significant improvement over current state-of-the-art methods by 6.1% on MLVU test, 8.3% on LVBench, 18.3% on VNBench Long, and 3.7% on VideoMME Long. The code will be available at https://github.com/FujitsuResearch/QViC-MF/.

Video2Robo: 3DGS-based Synthetic Data from One Video Enables Scalable Robot Learning

Yinan Deng, Kejia Hu, Ye Chen, Jianyu Dou, Jiahui Wang, Jingyu Zhao, Haojia Ao, Yi Yang, Yufeng Yue

展开摘要

Scalable robot learning is hindered by the high cost of acquiring diverse, high-quality embodied data. Existing data generation approaches partially mitigate this issue but typically depend on hard-to-access hardware and labor-intensive manual effort, with limited generalization to diverse scene configurations. To overcome these limitations, we propose Video2Robo, a framework that generates high-quality and diverse robot data directly from a single human demonstration video, enabling seamless deployment on physical robots. At its core, Video2Robo leverages 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) as a powerful scene representation, enabling high-fidelity rendering and explicit 3D scene editing. The framework tracks temporally consistent motion trajectories of task-relevant objects from raw video footage and identifies key task skills, guiding robots to execute tasks kinematically plausibly under novel object arrangements. Furthermore, by augmenting backgrounds, textures, lighting, and camera views, Video2Robo further enhances the diversity of generated data. Extensive evaluations in both simulation and real-world environments demonstrate that policies trained on Video2Robo data achieve superior generalization and transfer performance.

TLMA: Mitigating the Impact of Weakly Labeled Information for Video Anomaly Detection

Rong Xu, Runqi Wang, Yingjun Zhang, Tao Tao, Xiaomeng Li, Liping Jing

展开摘要

Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection (WSVAD) aims to localize abnormal segments using only video-level labels during training.Although the paradigm significantly reduces annotation costs, the coarse-grained labels fail to precisely describe the full videos, resulting in the introduction of substantial Weakly Labeled Information (WLI) during training. The presence of WLI makes it difficult for the model to accurately learn the boundary between normal and abnormal behaviors, leading to misclassifications and compromising the precision of anomaly localization.To tackle the challenges posed by WLI, we propose a triplet learning strategy that selects hard segments from normal videos as anchors. By combining contrastive learning with Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) strategy, we increase the projection distance between abnormal segments and anchor samples, to reduce the interference of WLI in anomaly detection.Moreover, considering that anomalies typically occur in dynamic foreground regions, we further design a motion-aware feature enhancement module that extracts dynamic areas within each video segment to emphasize the representation of critical features.This not only improves the accuracy of anchors in triplets, but also enhances the discriminative power of instance features in MIL. Extensive experiments on UCF-Crime, XD-Violence, and MSAD datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

STCDiT: Spatio-Temporally Consistent Diffusion Transformer for High-Quality Video Super-Resolution

Junyang Chen, Jiangxin Dong, Long Sun, Yixin Yang, Jinshan Pan

展开摘要

We present STCDiT, a video super-resolution framework built upon a pre-trained video diffusion model, aiming to restore structurally faithful and temporally stable videos from degraded inputs, even under complex camera motions. The main challenges lie in maintaining temporal stability during reconstruction and preserving structural fidelity during generation. To address these challenges, we first develop a motion-aware VAE reconstruction method that performs segment-wise reconstruction, with each segment clip exhibiting uniform motion characteristic, thereby effectively handling videos with complex camera motions. Moreover, we observe that the first-frame latent extracted by the VAE encoder in each clip, termed the anchor-frame latent, remains unaffected by temporal compression and retains richer spatial structural information than subsequent frame latents. We further develop an anchor-frame guidance approach that leverages structural information from anchor frames to constrain the generation process and improve structural fidelity of video features. Coupling these two designs enables the video diffusion model to achieve high-quality video super-resolution. Extensive experiments show that STCDiT outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of structural fidelity and temporal consistency.

FlowPortal: Residual-Corrected Flow for Training-Free Video Relighting and Background Replacement

Wenshuo Gao, Junyi FAN, Jiangyue Zeng, Shuai Yang

展开摘要

Video relighting with background replacement is a challenging task critical for applications in film production and creative media. Existing methods struggle to balance temporal consistency, spatial fidelity, and illumination naturalness. To address these issues, we introduce FlowPortal, a novel training-free flow-based video relighting framework. Our core innovation is a Residual-Corrected Flow mechanism that transforms a standard flow-based model into an editing model, guaranteeing perfect reconstruction when input conditions are identical and enabling faithful relighting when they differ, resulting in high structural consistency. This is further enhanced by a Decoupled Condition Design for precise lighting control and a High-Frequency Transfer mechanism for detail preservation. Additionally, a masking strategy isolates foreground relighting from background pure generation process. Experiments demonstrate that FlowPortal achieves superior performance in temporal coherence, structural preservation, and lighting realism, while maintaining high efficiency.

Breaking Multimodal LLM Safety via Video-Driven Prompting

Dong Wang, Xiangyu He, Xinqi LYU, Bin Xiao

展开摘要

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in visual reasoning tasks, serving as the core perception engines for emerging AI agents like OpenClaw. While recent studies have introduced several effective image-based jailbreak methods, the vulnerabilities inherent in the video modality remain a largely unexplored frontier. As a pioneering effort to bridge this critical safety gap, we demonstrate that video-driven jailbreak attacks are significantly more effective and robust against pre-defined system prompts than their image-based counterparts. Specifically, we find that simply repeating a harmful image across multiple frames to construct a video can bypass the safety mechanisms of MLLMs. Our analysis reveals that unsafe videos are embedded more similarly to safe videos in the model's representation space than individual harmful images, making them harder to detect. Moreover, videos composed of identical frames are processed more like static images and are more likely to trigger safety defenses compared to videos with diverse frames. Motivated by these findings, we propose an algorithm that injects harmful content into typographic videos by interleaving it with diverse, safety-proximal frames, thereby evading MLLM safety alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art jailbreak performance on several widely-used MLLMs (e.g., VideoLLaMA-2, Qwen2.5-VL, GPT-4.1, and Gemini-2.5) under 16 different safety policies.

Your One-Stop Solution for AI-Generated Video Detection

Long Ma, Zihao Xue, Yan Wang, Zhiyuan Yan, Jin Xu, Xiaorui Jiang, Haiyang Yu, Yong Liao, Zhen Bi

展开摘要

Recent advances in generative modeling can create remarkably realistic synthetic videos, making it increasingly difficult for humans to distinguish them from real ones and necessitating reliable detection methods. However, two key limitations hinder the development of this field.**From the dataset perspective**, existing datasets are often limited in scale and constructed using outdated or narrowly scoped generative models, making it difficult to capture the diversity and rapid evolution of modern generative techniques. Moreover, the dataset construction process frequently prioritizes quantity over quality, neglecting essential aspects such as semantic diversity, scenario coverage, and technological representativeness. **From the benchmark perspective**, current benchmarks largely remain at the stage of dataset creation, leaving many fundamental issues and in-depth analysis yet to be systematically explored.Addressing this gap, we propose AIGVDBench, a benchmark designed to be comprehensive and representative, covering **31** state-of-the-art generation models and over **440,000** videos. By executing more than **1,500** evaluations on **33** existing detectors belonging to four distinct categories. This work presents **8 in-depth analyses** from multiple perspectives and identifying **4 novel findings** that offer valuable insights for the field. We hope this work provides a solid foundation for advancing the field of AI-generated video detection.

Focus, Don't Prune: Identifying Instruction-Relevant Regions for Information-Rich Image Understanding

Mincheol Kwon, Minseung Lee, Seonga Choi, Miso Choi, Kyeongjin Oh, Hyunyoung Lee, Cheonyoung Park, Yongho Song, Seunghyun Park, Jinkyu Kim

展开摘要

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong performance across various multimodal tasks by leveraging the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, processing visually complex and information-rich images, such as infographics or document layouts, requires these models to generate a large number of visual tokens, leading to significant computational overhead. To address this, we propose PinPoint, a novel two-stage framework that first identifies instruction-relevant image regions and then refines them to extract fine-grained visual features for improved reasoning and efficiency. Central to our approach is the Instruction-Region Alignment, which localizes relevant regions using both visual input and textual instructions. We further introduce new annotations that provide richer ground-truth supervision for instruction-relevant regions across challenging VQA benchmarks: InfographicVQA, MultiPageDocVQA, and SinglePageDocVQA. Experimental results show that PinPoint not only achieves superior accuracy compared to existing methods but also reduces computational overhead by minimizing irrelevant visual tokens.

Perceptual Neural Video Compression with Color Separation and Rank Chain

Xiongzhuang Liang, Chuanbo Tang, Zhuoyuan Li, Li Li, Dong Liu

展开摘要

Neural video compression (NVC) has achieved significant progress in recent years. The state-of-the-art (SOTA) NVC schemes, exemplified by the Deep Conditional Video Coding series, have focused on pursuing higher fidelity (e.g., PSNR), but lack sufficient exploitation of deep networks' advantages for better perceptual quality. We fill in this gap with two new techniques. First, we propose a color-separation-based framework, termed PNVC-C, which decouples luminance and chrominance processing to better align with human visual perception. This framework enables explicit and adaptive allocation of computation and bitrate budgets between luminance and chrominance components. Second, within this framework, we introduce the perceptual optimization scheme Rc-GAN, which leverages a bitrate-based rank chain loss to link variable-rate coding with perceptual quality ranking, enforcing consistent quality ordering and improving perceptual fidelity. Built upon these designs, we establish the PNVC-C framework with two variants: PNVC-C-Base, optimized for objective fidelity, and PNVC-CR, a perceptual variant that applies the Rc-GAN. Experimental results demonstrate that PNVC-C-Base achieves SOTA objective performance in YUV PSNR, while PNVC-CR attains SOTA perceptual quality on LPIPS, DISTS, KID, and FID metrics. The source code is released at https://github.com/lxz-nan/PNVC-CR.

Progressive Mask Distillation for Self-supervised Video Representation

Kewei Wu, Chong Liang, Zhao Xie, Dan Guo

展开摘要

Masked visual modeling is a self-supervised learning task that does not use visual annotations. It aims to learn discriminative representations via a mask-reconstruction task. A single mask ratio in reconstruction may fail to capture complex semantics, which motivates dynamic masking strategies. In this work, we propose Progressive Mask Distillation (PMD), which utilizes dynamic mask ratios to facilitate progressive semantic learning from easy to hard. PMD integrates three key components: a progressive student distiller, a difficulty-aware region enhancer, and a cross-layer feature aligner. First, to capture dynamic visual semantics, we design a progressive student distiller that trains multiple student models with progressively increasing mask ratios. The early-phase student (with a low mask ratio) learns easy, low-level semantics from more visible tokens. This learned knowledge then guides the next-phase student (with a higher mask ratio) to capture hard, high-level semantics from fewer visible tokens. This progressive distillation mechanism enhances detail reconstruction at a high mask ratio. Second, to alleviate insufficient learning of semantic regions, we design a difficulty-aware region enhancer. We first smooth the region reconstruction loss to reduce large fluctuations across training epochs. The smoothed loss is then used to learn region-level weights, prioritizing accurate learning of regions with large reconstruction losses. Third, to further bridge the semantic gap across network layers, we design cross-layer feature alignment. This module aligns features across shallow, middle, and deep encoder layers, ensuring that shallow-layer features incorporate semantic information from deeper layers. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Something-Something V2, Kinetics-400, UCF-101, and HMDB-51 datasets.

MultiShotMaster: A Controllable Multi-Shot Video Generation Framework

Qinghe Wang, Xiaoyu Shi, Baolu Li, Weikang BIAN, Quande Liu, Huchuan Lu, Xintao Wang, Pengfei Wan, Kun Gai, Xu Jia

展开摘要

Current video generation techniques excel at single-shot clips but struggle to produce narrative multi-shot videos, which require flexible shot arrangement, coherent narrative, and controllability beyond text prompts. To tackle these challenges, we propose MultiShotMaster, a framework for highly controllable multi-shot video generation. We extend a pretrained single-shot model by integrating two novel variants of RoPE. First, we introduce Multi-Shot Narrative RoPE, which applies explicit phase shift at shot transitions, enabling flexible shot arrangement while preserving the temporal narrative order. Second, we design Spatiotemporal Position-Aware RoPE to incorporate reference tokens and grounding signals, enabling spatiotemporal-grounded reference injection. In addition, to overcome data scarcity, we establish an automated data annotation pipeline to extract multi-shot videos, captions, cross-shot grounding signals and reference images. Our framework leverages the intrinsic architectural properties to support multi-shot video generation, featuring text-driven inter-shot consistency, customized subject with motion control, and background-driven customized scene. Both shot count and duration are flexibly configurable. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance and outstanding controllability of our framework.

Select Less, Reason More: Prioritizing Evidence Purity for Video Reasoning

Xuchen Li, Xuzhao Li, Shiyu Hu, Kaiqi Huang

展开摘要

Long-form video reasoning remains a major challenge for Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs), as static uniform frame sampling leads to information dilution and obscures critical evidence. Furthermore, existing pixel-space video reasoning agents, which are designed to actively interact with the video to acquire new visual information, remain suboptimal due to their lack of rigorous reward mechanisms to enforce evidence purity and their inability to perform temporal information supplementation beyond pre-sampled frames. To address this critical gap, we propose a novel evidence-prioritized adaptive framework built upon our core philosophy: "Select Less, Reason More." Our core contribution is the evidence-aware reinforcement learning (EARL) framework, which transforms the model into an active interrogator of evidence. EARL is precisely engineered to dynamically select the most relevant frames and, crucially, to perform localized re-sampling around the selected key frames to access fine-grained temporal detail. Extensive experiments on five demanding video reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that our EARL-trained model achieves new state-of-the-art among open-source Video LLMs, simultaneously learning an effective and high-purity visual evidence selection policy. Impressively, our 7B model achieves 59.8% on LongVideoBench, 69.0% on MVBench and 64.9% on VideoMME. These results highlight the importance of prioritizing evidence purity and the effectiveness of our framework.

VGA-Bench: A Unified Benchmark and Multi-Model Framework for Video Aesthetics and Generation Quality Evaluation

Longteng Jiang, Dandan Zheng, Qianqian Qiao, Heng Huang, Huaye Wang, Yihang Bo, Bao Peng, JingDong Chen, JUN ZHOU, Xin Jin

展开摘要

The rapid advancement of AIGC-based video generation has underscored the critical need for comprehensive evaluation frameworks that go beyond traditional generation quality metrics to encompass aesthetic appeal. However, existing benchmarks remain largely focused on technical fidelity, leaving a significant gap in holistic assessment--particularly with respect to perceptual and artistic qualities. To address this limitation, we introduce VGA-Bench, a unified benchmark for joint evaluation of video generation quality and aesthetic quality. VGA-Bench is built upon a principled three-tier taxonomy: Aesthetic Quality, Aesthetic Tagging, and Generation Quality, each decomposed into multiple fine-grained sub-dimensions to enable systematic assessment. Guided by this taxonomy, we design 1,016 diverse prompts and generate a large-scale dataset of over 60,000 videos using 12 video generation models, ensuring broad coverage across content, style, and artifacts. To enable scalable and automated evaluation, we annotate a subset of the dataset via human labeling and develop three dedicated multi-task neural assessors: VAQA-Net for aesthetic quality prediction, VTag-Net for automatic aesthetic tagging, and VGQA-Net for generation and basic quality attributes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our models achieve reliable alignment with human judgments, offering both accuracy and efficiency. We release VGA-Bench as a public benchmark to foster research in AIGC evaluation, with applications in content moderation, model debugging, and generative model optimization.

LoL: Longer than Longer, Scaling Video Generation to Hour

Justin Cui, Jie Wu, Ming Li, Tao Yang, Xiaojie Li, Rui Wang, Andrew Bai, Yuanhao Ban, Cho-Jui Hsieh

展开摘要

Recent research in long-form video generation has shifted from bidirectional to autoregressive models, yet these methods commonly suffer from error accumulation and a loss of long-term coherence. While attention sink frames have been introduced to mitigate this performance decay, they often induce a critical failure mode we term sink-collapse: the generated content repeatedly reverts to the sink frame, resulting in abrupt scene resets and cyclic motion patterns. Our analysis reveals that sink-collapse originates from an inherent conflict between the periodic structure of Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) and the multi-head attention mechanisms prevalent in current generative models. To address it, we propose a lightweight, training-free approach that effectively suppresses this behavior by introducing multi-head RoPE jitter that breaks inter-head attention homogenization and mitigates long-horizon collapse. Extensive experiments show that our method successfully alleviates sink-collapse while preserving generation quality. To the best of our knowledge, this work achieves the first demonstration of real-time, streaming, and infinite-length video generation with little quality decay. As an illustration of this robustness, we generate continuous videos up to 12 hours in length, which, to our knowledge, is among the longest publicly demonstrated results in streaming video generation.

Scene-Centric Unsupervised Video Panoptic Segmentation

Christoph Reich, Oliver Hahn, Nikita Araslanov, Laura Leal-Taixé, Christian Rupprecht, Daniel Cremers, Stefan Roth

展开摘要

Video panoptic segmentation (VPS) aims to jointly detect, segment, and track all objects while partitioning the video into semantically consistent regions. We introduce the task setting of unsupervised VPS, omitting any human supervision. Existing unsupervised scene understanding works mainly focused on image segmentation tasks; the video domain remains underexplored. We propose VideoCUPS, the first unsupervised VPS approach. VideoCUPS generates temporally consistent panoptic video pseudo-labels from scene-centric videos by exploiting unsupervised depth, motion, and visual cues. Training on these pseudo-labels using a novel Video DropLoss yields an accurate, unsupervised VPS model. To benchmark progress, we introduce a comprehensive evaluation protocol and four competitive baselines, extending state-of-the-art unsupervised panoptic image and instance video segmentation models to VPS. VideoCUPS outperforms all baselines and demonstrates strong label-efficient learning. With VideoCUPS, our evaluation protocol, and baselines, we provide a strong foundation for future research on unsupervised VPS.

Video-Only ToM: Enhancing Theory of Mind in Multimodal Large Language Models

Siqi Liu, Xinyang Li, Bochao Zou, Junbao Zhuo, Huimin Ma, Jiansheng Chen

展开摘要

As large language models (LLMs) continue to advance, there is increasing interest in their ability to infer human mental states and demonstrate a human-like Theory of Mind (ToM). Most existing ToM evaluations, however, are centered on text-based inputs, while scenarios relying solely on visual information receive far less attention. This leaves a gap, since real-world human-AI interaction typically requires multimodal understanding. In addition, many current methods regard the model as a black box and rarely probe how its internal attention behaves in multiple-choice question answering (QA). The impact of LLM hallucinations on such tasks is also underexplored from an interpretability perspective. To address these issues, we introduce VisionToM, a vision-oriented intervention framework designed to strengthen task-aware reasoning. The core idea is to compute intervention vectors that align visual representations with the correct semantic targets, thereby steering the model's attention through different layers of visual features. This guidance reduces the model's reliance on spurious linguistic priors, leading to more reliable multimodal language model (MLLM) outputs and better QA performance. Experiments on the EgoToM benchmark--an egocentric, real-world video dataset for ToM with three multiple-choice QA settings--demonstrate that our method substantially improves the ToM abilities of MLLMs. Furthermore, results on an additional open-ended generation task show that VisionToM enables MLLMs to produce free-form explanations that more accurately capture agents' mental states, pushing machine-human collaboration toward greater alignment.

DUO-VSR: Dual-Stream Distillation for One-Step Video Super-Resolution

Zhengyao Lv, Menghan Xia, Xintao Wang, Kwan-Yee K. Wong

展开摘要

Diffusion-based video super-resolution (VSR) achieves remarkable fidelity but suffers from prohibitive sampling cost. While distribution matching distillation (DMD) accelerates diffusion models to one-step generation, directly applying it to VSR leads to training instability and degraded, insufficient supervision.To address these issues, we propose DUO-VSR, a three-stage framework centered on a DUal-Stream Distillation strategy that integrates distribution matching and adversarial supervision for One-step VSR.We first adopt a Progressive Guided Distillation Initialization to stabilize subsequent training through trajectory-preserving distillation.We then introduce a Dual-Stream Distillation Strategy to jointly optimize DMD and Real-Fake Score Feature GAN (RFS-GAN) streams, with the latter providing complementary adversarial supervision using features from both real and fake score models.Finally, a Preference-Guided Refinement aligns the student with perceptual quality preferences.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that DUO-VSR achieves superior visual quality and efficiency over previous one-step VSR methods.

Geometry-Guided 3D Visual Token Pruning for Video-Language Models

Han Li, Zehao Huang, Jiahui Fu, Naiyan Wang, Si Liu

展开摘要

Multimodal large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 2D vision, motivating their extension to 3D scene understanding. Recent studies represent 3D scenes as 3D spatial videos composed of image sequences with depth and camera pose information, enabling pre-trained video-language models to perform 3D reasoning tasks. However, the large number of visual tokens in spatial videos remains a major bottleneck for efficient inference. Existing pruning methods overlook the view consistency of spatial videos and the spatial diversity of the remaining tokens, which prevents them from effectively removing inter-frame redundancy and preserving scene completeness. In this paper, we propose Geo3DPruner, a Geometry-Guided 3D Visual Token Pruning framework. Geo3DPruner first models cross-frame relevance through geometry-aware global attention, and then performs a two-stage pruning process. The intra-voxel stage selects representative multi-view features within each voxel, while the inter-voxel stage preserves spatial diversity by selecting a globally distributed subset of voxels. Extensive experiments on multiple 3D scene understanding benchmarks demonstrate that Geo3DPruner retains over 90% of the original performance while pruning 90% of visual tokens, significantly outperforming existing text-guided and vision-guided pruning methods.

Towards Generalized Representations for Low-Light Understanding: When Signal Constancy Meets Semantic Enrichment

Yifan Li, Haofeng Huang, Wenhan Yang, Jiaying Liu

展开摘要

Low-light degradation hampers machine understanding at night. Existing methods either overfit labeled data (paired supervision) or specific distributions (unpaired supervision), resulting in poor generalization under unseen degradations. In this paper, we propose UniPrior, a unified prior-based low-light adaptation framework that integrates the general semantic prior embedded in vision foundation models (VFMs) with illumination-invariant priors, to capture both stable and changing semantics under varied low-light degradation without any real low-light training data. In detail, the illumination-invariant prior is used as an auxiliary input, and a parallel decoder reconstructs it as a regularization target, enforcing representation consistency and reducing feature drift. Such signal constancy enables us to build a VFM-aligned semantic space via a contrastive training strategy guided by VFM self-correlation maps, enriching features with high-level cues, thereby improving adaptation to diverse low-light conditions. Beyond high-level features, we also give a joint consideration of such unified prior and low-level signal space through our machine-oriented enhancement scheme. We extend the signal prior to handle overexposure and inject VFM-guided semantic cues into the enhancement process via a CLIP-based loss. This coupling of semantic alignment and pixel correction enables sample-adaptive optimization to improve performance. Extensive experiments on multiple low-light tasks demonstrate our method's superiority and practical utility.

Beyond Single Images: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Album-Level Vision-Language Understanding

Shawn Huang, Brian Price, Yifei Fan, Bryan Morse

展开摘要

Automatic album organization has been studied extensively over the past decades due to significant progress in digital photography. Recent vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong performance on multi-image understanding, making them natural candidates for automating album organization workflows. While VLMs' abilities in multi-image understanding have been widely studied, their performance on album organization remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce AlbumBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for automatic album organization. Specifically, we (1) define album organization tasks as photo selection for album-specific user objectives, photo rating according to how well user intents are fulfilled, and album-specific photo grouping given a user query which requires contextual understanding of the album; (2) establish AlbumBench, a benchmark dataset containing 27051 images across 641 albums with 5 annotations per image; and (3) evaluate mainstream open-source and proprietary VLMs on AlbumBench. We show that AlbumBench presents unique challenges compared to traditional multi-image understanding benchmarks due to its requirement for understanding album context and user intent. Our findings reveal a significant performance gap between open-source and proprietary VLMs on album organization tasks. Despite this gap, even the best-performing proprietary models sometimes struggle with tasks that humans find relatively easy. We hope that AlbumBench can serve as a foundation for unifying album organization research and motivate improvements in VLMs' performance on these tasks.
